Dimensions and challenges of the initiative to revive the Hejaz Railway
Strategic Council Online – Note: The initiative to revive the Hejaz Railway, beyond being a transportation project, constitutes an attempt to redefine geopolitics, the economy, and Turkey’s regional position; however, its realization appears to face significant financial, security, and institutional challenges.
Hormuz after the War; Transition from the Liberal Maritime Order to Multipolar Energy Geopolitics
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Strait of Hormuz crisis is no longer merely the consequence of a military confrontation, but rather a sign of the transition from the US-centered maritime order to a new energy security structure involving the participation of emerging and influential powers.
The Emergence of Divergence in US and Israeli Regime Interests Following the War Against Iran
SCFR Online – Opinion: Iran’s active deterrence strategy, while increasing the costs of US intervention, has increasingly exposed the hidden rifts between Washington’s interests and those of the Israeli regime.
A Look at the Dimensions and Outlook of Tensions in Turkey-Israeli Regime Relations
SCFR Online – Opinion: The escalation of verbal and strategic tensions between Turkey and the Israeli regime, although not increasing the likelihood of direct war, indicates the formation of a new order in West Asian geopolitical rivalries.
Balancing in the chain of chokepoints; from sea-based deterrence to pluralistic diplomacy
Strategic Council Online – Note: Recent developments in the political geography of West Asia, from rising tensions in the Persian Gulf to missile and drone activities in the Red Sea and the recent warning by Kaja Kallas, the European Union’s foreign policy chief, regarding the threat to freedom of navigation, indicate a key pattern shift; the US-Iran war has moved beyond the scope of a regional and local confrontation and has linked two vital passageways for the global economy: the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait.
The Impact of the Ukraine War on the Rearrangement of the Global Balance of Power
SCFR Online – Opinion: The Ukraine war was not merely a European crisis, but rather the starting point for the rearrangement of the global balance of power and a shift in the strategic behavior of great powers.

Sudan
An Analysis of Sudan’s Civil War and the Role of Foreign Interventions
Strategic Council Online—Opinion: This is the second time that efforts have been made to establish peace in Sudan, but so far, no positive perspective and no clear vision has been drawn for the end of the conflict in this country.
The threat to stability in Sudan and the mission of the international community
Strategic Council Online-Interview: An expert on African issues listed power-seeking and non-acceptance of conventional rules as the root causes of conflicts in Sudan and emphasized that although the Sudanese parties want to eliminate each other, it seems that even if the conflicts do not lead to the elimination of one side, in the short term, it will end and the two sides cannot continue the war due to the lack of facilities in this country.
The way of developing relations between Saudi Arabia and the Zionist regime
Strategic Council Online—Interview: An expert on West Asian issues stated that the frequent publication of news about the normalization of relations between the Zionist regime and Saudi Arabia in the Zionist media does not necessarily mean the occurrence of new developments that can change the geopolitics of the region, and said that repeatedly dealing with the issue of normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia is a media achievement. It is for Netanyahu and the Likud party to divert the attention of public opinion from the internal problems and challenges of the Zionist regime.
Vulnerability of Interests of Zionist Regime and Host Countries in Persian Gulf
Strategic Council Online – The illegitimate presence of the Zionists in the Persian Gulf will increase vulnerability of these forces; as the Arab nations of the region are not psychologically and culturally ready to accept the citizens of the Israeli regime and this is considered a serious challenge for Tel Aviv. There may also be underground movements in the future to strike at the interests of the Israeli regime in the Arab countries.

Riyadh, Abu Dhabi Strive to Keep Influence in Sudan
Strategic Council Online: The UAE and Saudi Arabia are sensitive to any changes or political and social instability in the Afro-Arab countries, and they are always seeking to maintain the status quo. But this time about Sudan, they certainly have not sufficed to a mere opposition to changes by learning a lesson from the 2011 uprisings. Instead, they are trying to orchestrate the power transition in a way that their own interests are preserved and safeguarded.

Strategic Council Online—Interview: An expert on West Asian issues stated that the frequent publication of news about the normalization of relations between the Zionist regime and Saudi Arabia in the Zionist media does not necessarily mean the occurrence of new developments that can change the geopolitics of the region, and said that repeatedly dealing with the issue of normalizing relations with Saudi Arabia is a media achievement. It is for Netanyahu and the Likud party to divert the attention of public opinion from the internal problems and challenges of the Zionist regime.

Instead, they are trying to orchestrate the power transition in a way that their own interests are preserved and safeguarded.
